According to our latest market study on “Research Department Explosive (RDX) Market Forecast to 2027 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Type (Explosives, Pyrotechnics, and Others) and Application (Military and Civilian),” the market was valued at US$ 8,061.38 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 10,363.27 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% from 2020 to 2027.The report highlights key factors driving the market growth and prominent players along with their developments in the market.

Research department explosive (RDX) is hard, dissolvable in different solvents such as ethanol and ether, and insoluble in water. The manufacturing process of RDX comprises multiple stages, such as nitration, raw materials storing and feeding, filtration, disintegration, and transport. Various manufacturers are investing comprehensively in research & development activities to build up pioneering products to support the defense forces and fulfill ever-escalating product demand. RDX is used in various military and typical applications such as fireworks and cast PBX charges.

Research Department Explosive (RDX) Market

The growing safety concerns and increasing need to protect the national borders and boundaries are inclining the government of different nations to spend more on their respective military, defense arms, and ammunition. In 2021, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute mentioned that the global spending on military and defense is US$1,917 billion, which mostly accounts for 2.2% of the global gross domestic product (GDP). The US, India, China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia are the top five spenders on defense and military applications and contribute to more than 60% of the global military spending. RDX is mostly used as an explosive in the military industry that can use with explosives such as TNT to make cyclotrons that produce bursting charges for mines, aerial bombs, and torpedoes well, as it can be used as a base charge for detonators. The manufacturers are spending more on R&D activities to make innovative products to help the defense industry. RDX is used in a wide range of military applications such as bombs, munition of all calibers, plastic explosives, and missile warheads. Furthermore, the increase in the number of instances of terror attacks in different countries has led them to increase the spending on military and defense applications, which drives the growth of the research development explosives (RDX) market.

BAE Systems; Chemring Group PLC; Mil-Spec Industries Corporation; Nitro-Chem SA; Eurenco; PRVA ISKRA – NAMENSKA A.D.; Austin Powder; Dyno Nobel; Ensign-Bickford Industries, Inc.; and Orica Limited are among the well-established players in the global research department explosive (RDX) market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Research Department Explosive Market

The COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan (China) in December 2019. As of January 2021, the US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, the UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are among of the worst affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. According to the latest WHO figures updated on January 2021, there are ~83,322,449 confirmed cases and 1,831,412 total deaths globally. The outbreak is adversely affecting economies and industries in various countries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. The chemicals & materials is one of the major industries suffering serious disruptions such as supply chain breaks, technology events cancellations, and office shutdowns. For instance, China is the global manufacturing hub and the largest raw material supplier for various industries, and it is also one of the worst-affected countries. The lockdown of different plants and factories in China is restricting the global supply chains and disrupting the manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and various chemicals & materials sales. Multiple companies have already announced possible delays in product deliveries and slump in future sales of their products. In addition, the global travel bans imposed by countries in Europe, Asia, and North America are hindering business collaborations and partnership opportunities. All these factors are impacting the chemicals & materials industry negatively and thus acting as a restraining factors for the growth of various markets related to this industry.
